Backwoods Bastard (2020)

Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy

Expect lovely, warm smells of single malt scotch, oaky bourbon barrels, smoke, sweet caramel and roasted malts, a bit of earthy spice and a scintilla of dark fruit. It’s a kick-back sipper made to excite the palate.

Barleywine-esque with toffee and overripe cherries and brown bananas and banana bread. There's a hint of peaty malt and a surprising amount of vanilla. Drinking nice fresh, and the 11% abv isn't oppressive but it's still hefty. Pairing with reuben.

Sweet bourbon, vanilla, coconut, caramel, dark fruit aroma. Medium-large mouthfeel. Balanced bourbon throughout with a drying oak on finish. Fig, raisin, cherry. Molasses, brown sugar. Light roast. Alcohol barely noticeable. Still a wonderful beer ☘️ .

Очень хороший. Чувствуются оттенки дуба, умеренная спиртозность, алкоголь не выпирает но при этом чувствуется, больше согревает. Сбалансированная сладость по отношению к горечи.

The initial sip was amazing! Sweet, caramel, boozy, notes of bourbon, earthy, mellows into a chocolate flavor. Can’t believe I haven’t checked into this beer for a while. HAPPY NATIONAL BEER DAY!!

Лёгкие оттенки кукурузы, бурбона и карамели, тело не плотное, но полновесное. Палитра от жаренной карамели, копченности и табака до лёгких дистилятных оттенков. Чуть менее вискарный чем раньше, но не менее вкусный. Финиш суховат, с умеренной сладостью.

This 2020 bottling is drinking beautifully right now. I’m not surprised one bit, since these age consistently well.

Хорошо, карамельно и плотно. Дрова, барликовые нотки, благородный градус, вискарик. Аромат хорошей Бельгии. Сначала думал, что зажрался уже, но по раскрытию желания занижать не возникло.

Man is das ein geiler Scheiß. Stark, rauchig und irgendwie schottisch. Und über allem, kringelt sich schön das Fass rein.

01.13.20 Heerlijk zacht zoet en rijk aan geuren en smaken. Ik proef hout, karamel, rook, zoethout en milde whisky. Heel geslaagd.

Monsieur Pamplemousse

Lovely aroma of stewed fruit and oaken whiskey caramel, taste adds brown sugar in to the mix. Tasty and strong sipper that disappears dangerously fast down the throat. 4.4
